Hey Guys! Few things to note: I kept calling Fight Night Champion "Fight Night Champions" by accident. Apologies to @2zpeletomorrowman, when I read your name I thought of the Toyota engine called 2ZZ for some reason. 😅
EA just broke mindset , u know , mafia who owned ea gaming doesnt need money , why we pay for on-line ? Because people dont have gaming heart from windows 95❤
you called MGO2, Metal Gear Solid 2 Online aswell, which is pretty incorrect but still, dont let it get to you, improving with each video is just part of the game
OG demon souls serves have been shut down for a couple years now. Dark Souls 1 & 2 you can get people on the weekends and the odd late night, especially in pvp spots
Of course Resident Evil 5 is going to be active, have you tried to finish the game with Sheeva as a CPU in higher difficulties? She's practically braindead.
I just got a used PS3 Super Slim. While it only has 12GB of flash storage, I heard Super Slims always use SATA III (not SATA II). Without searching online, what's the largest hard drive size this console recognizes? I've heard 1.5TB, but has anyone successfully used a bigger one? I can't find a clear answer anywhere. I'm looking for someone who has tried a really big drive.
Well wwe2k15 servers shut down in 2016 and hasn't worked since Sonic all star racing haven't played that since 2015 and some of those other games are eh solid
Hello, I’ve never played dead space 2 but I plan on buying a secondhand copy. Do I still need to redeem a code to access the multiplayer? I’ve seen a sellers’ pictures of a manual to activate the online pass. Thank you.
Btw fun fact in the ps4 version of far cry 4 you cant play multiplayer becouse there is a bug that no matter what mode you choose to play on it will always put you in a match of assault even if you dont have the dlc (assault is a multiplayer mode that can be played only trough buying the dlc) and if you have the dlc it will let you play but if you dont you are stuck in the pregame lobby but however the coop mode is still working for the main campain and the dlc durgesh and yeti So to make this short in fc4 multiplayer for ps4 there is a bug where it will only make you play the the dlc mode and if you dont have the dlc you cant play but the coop is still working
Dead Space 2 is kill. Active player base? EA: Shame...🪓 Never even got to play that game's multiplayer even though i had the chance for the past couple of years. Will probably end up happening to most of my backlog. Hey there you go, didn't even know about Dante's Inferno being axed until i got to the end of the video. Another one i could have played and never got the chance to. Very cool. You neglected to mention Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge. Still alive but rare to find people for co-op (PVP mode functionally dead cause it sucked save for occasional trophy hunters)
Ghost recon future soldier has had such a small playerbase on ps3 even as far back as 2015 when I played it, glad to hear that some people are still able to enjoy it. Really fun tactical shooter.
You forgot the Gran Turismo games for the PS3! 5 and 6 especially. For GT6, You have to have an jailbroken PS3 first and then have some hacked launch files to replace the ones that is rooted inside your PS3 to start playing online. It's fairly easy but it will take you a good 2 - 3 hours to get it all set-up. GT6 active player base is small and at max I saw about 15 players playing online and racing together within a few month of me playing it recently at least once a week mainly on the weekends. For GT5 I think you can connect with only just LAN to another players so no really modding is needed... I think. I never tried GT5 online since I never own the disc at all nor not really interested playing it in general. Going by some articles I saw a few years back so take my words with a grain of salt. And I have Ridge Racer 7 and played it online! It's mainly a small community that still plays it and recently I herd that the most hardcore types of players have locked the rooms for private races due to the small rise in PS3 online activities going on when I read about one TH-cam comment about a retrospective about RR7 itself. That game is still great and under-looked for a Ridge Racer game... Matter of fact most racing games from the 90's and 2000's have some hidden gems underneath that either rarely get's talked about or just an arcade only exclusive that never had a home/PC release that SOME (SEGA AND NAMCO) companies refusing to even bring it to modern times as the current racing game market is utterly dreadful with indie games carrying the entire market right now. Mini rant aside this was a good insight video for the PS3 that is basically a fucking dinosaur!
My ps3 is still used for Killzone 2, Resistance FoM, and Socom Confrontation. Mainly Killzone 2 (one of my all-time favorite games), but I feel like I'm able to play these greats that I missed online.
Far cry 2 and 4 have not officially been shutdown, but both have severe server issues where the online is unreachable. This also goes for Far Cry 4 on the PS4. Ubisoft is aware of the problem and has said to be 'working on it' but it has been a while now

Great video my dude and thank you for the shoutout! Those Ubisoft games coming back online on PS3 is quite interesting. Players who want to get in there - best time is now and while it is hot because who knows what will happen next!
I don't see Battlefield 3 onwards shutting down for a very long time. Main reason being rented servers, plenty of people still pay to host their own servers which should keep the games alive for a longer time than the Bad Company games where this wasn't a thing. Not to mention the amount of backlash they'd get considering 3 & 4 are widely praised as the best of the series and still extremely active on other platforms to this day.
Actually, Bad Company is considered the best in the series and as a Battlefield fan, i can confirm this. For me Bad Company 2 was a peak for Battlefield franchise, at least for consoles, and Vietnam DLC was a blast. Newer games are much more chaotic and looks like shit on PS3. Low res textures, incredibly bad framerate, limited destruction. I hope they will release remastered versions of Bad Company 1 and 2.
Bruh who is playing dark souls 1 on PS3 still? It’s has a great port everywhere else and the ps3 version can drop to the single digits fps wise. I’m shocked Demons souls isn’t active
@@Cruxis_Angel the official demon souls server shut down again back in 2018. You can play on private servers but I don't know how active it is with the remake existing and all.

Hey, nice video! Just wanted to say 2 things, Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Driver: San Francisco had their online shut down on October last year. I don't think you needed to include those two games but it's fine!
It's pretty easy to do. You will need to change your DNS settings on your PS3 XMB. Here is a video showing how to do it: th-cam.com/video/afEroJteHy8/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!

GRID Autosport for PS3, online servers are still on, as of 2023, despite being delisted from PS3 PS store, including all DLCs
Metal Gear Online 2 the best game on ps3/pc ❤
Aside from RE5 & 6, players in other RE titles in Asia are super rare😭😭 I don't think I have played co-op in these other titles😢

I loved the AC Multiplayer sadly current ones dont have it anymore.
Great list, I play socom regular. Going to play a few others I haven't tried!

I wonder how many people are playing because they love the old games and how many are playing because they genuinely can’t afford the new consoles
MGO2 THE BEST ONLINE GAME ❤
What is mgo2
keep the ball rolling ! more people ps3 cod multi !!!
Thanks for this video. Need to reconnect my ps3
I literally only use my ps3 for Metal Gear Online 2 it's one of the best MP games alongside Team Fortress 2 imo

Come on EA, don't do it.

Forgot NFS Most Wanted for example but good upgrade on the previous
Of course Resident Evil 5 is going to be active, have you tried to finish the game with Sheeva as a CPU in higher difficulties? She's practically braindead.
